The Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust has issued a new legal declaration to formally protect its standing, authority, and exclusive jurisdiction over all verified reparative claims related to American Freedmen.

Titled the Declaration of Competing Trust Protection, this measure directly addresses the rise of unauthorized trusts, non-profit programs, and private entities attempting to replicate, mimic, or challenge the legal authority of the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust without consent or verification standards.

Under this declaration, any attempt to establish a parallel trust, foundation, or reparations program using Freedmen-related terms, symbols, or claims—without the oversight or license of the Trust—will be considered a jurisdictional violation and subject to enforcement.

What This Declaration Protects

The legal jurisdiction of the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust over reparative claims for Verified Freedmen.
The governance of reparations disbursement, verification processes, and licensing standards for cultural use and economic participation.
The prevention of duplicative or deceptive trusts, often created to mislead donors, exploit Freedmen language, or sidestep genealogy-based standards.

Why It Matters

The Declaration of Competing Trust Protection ensures that no external trust, PAC, nonprofit, or institution can falsely claim authority over the reparations or identity of Verified Freedmen. It guards against:

The dilution of Freedmen rights through “inclusive” but non-verified structures
Competing racial frameworks like “Pan-African” or “flat Black” that erase Freedmen specificity
Public confusion over who is authorized to represent or distribute Freedmen reparations

Only the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust, established and governed under private trust law, holds the authority to represent Verified Freedmen claims at the institutional level.
